Cleveland Browns superstar Josh Gordon is headed back to rehab ... the team just announced.
25-year-old Gordon just issued a statement saying, "After careful thought and deep consideration I've decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an in-patient rehabilitation facility."
"This is the right decision for me and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person."
"I appreciate the support of the NFL, NFLPA, and the Browns, my teammates, my agent and the community through this extremely challenging process."
The Browns also issued a statement saying they support Gordon.
Josh has been battling substance abuse for years -- and was suspended by the league multiple times.
He was getting ready to make his comeback to the NFL in Week 5 against the Patriots -- but clearly, that's not happening now.
